Mihai Răzvan Sturzu (born 3 October 1979) is a Romanian left-wing politician, former President of Romanian Social Democratic Youth and member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies. He became nationally known through the pop band Hi-Q, a Romanian successful band of the 2000s, from which he officially retired on July 31, 2014, after 18 years of activity.
Mihai-Răzvan Sturzu was born in Bucharest, but he spent his childhood in Brașov, where his parents were living. In 1998, he graduated „Unirea” National College, foreign languages department and then he continues his studies in literature department of the Transylvania University of Braşov, in the city of Brașov.
In 1996 he founded the band Hi-Q with his childhood friend, Florin Grozea. In the following years, the band became more and more popular among the young generation. After the success of their first video “Totul va fi bine” (meaning “Everything’s gonna be alright”), Mihai and his colleagues started producing their own TV shows at Antena 1, Antena 2, Prima TV, Acasă TV, TVR1, TVR2 and radio shows at Magic FM and Radio 21. They performed in more than 1000 concerts with the band Hi-Q, most of them national but also abroad. His public figure status brought him various television appearances.
The year 2000 marks the beginning of his television career and also the return to his hometown, Bucharest where he continued his studies at the Department of Journalism, , which he graduated in 2004. During his college years, he continued collaborating with various TV channels, accumulating extensive experience in television journalism. In that period he also accomplished one of his adolescence dreams, to experience being a war reporter, even if for a few days. This happened in 2002 at the invitation of the Ministry of Defence, when he participated two times in the Afghanistan War theatre to perform in front of the Romanian troops, with his pop group Hi-Q.
